Paddock to Pitch 2022

The Regional Paddock to Pitch event is the first event where Turf Queensland (TQ), Sports Turf Association Queensland (STAQ) and the Golf Course Superintendents Association of Queensland (QGCSA) have come together to provide a day that covers all things sports turf and production. The overwhelming support of the associations, members and exhibitors so far has proven to each board how an event like this has been missed.

Combining these strong but independent Associations, we believe there is great potential for exhibitors to reach every user of turf, from production to maintenance. Paddock to Pitch has been given an opportunity to hold the event on a working turf farm, Marian Lawns, which is currently renovating a large proportion of the property. This unique opportunity allows a wide range of exhibitors to show off any machines that dig, trench, spray, and profile soil. It allows our young and upcoming to learn about soils and the new technology in sports turf renovations, from the soil nutrition up!

With the impacts of Covid-19 throughout 2020 and 2021, all Associations are wanting to give back to our supportive members and sponsors/partners. Each of these associations represents a large group of turf professionals, but with Covid-19 impacting many industries it has been decided a field day would be the one and only way for us to get new and exciting industry advances out to our members. While each of the associations appreciates the nature of an event like this, every thought has been put into how the day will run and every attendee’s health and wellbeing is at the forefront of this event.

As a group of Associations, we communicate with over 1000+ members and many more who are not. Paddock to Pitch will be advertised to all of these sports turf enthusiasts and with the support of Exhibitors and Partners Paddock to pitch will be run to give back to industry. We believe that a unique opportunity for a turf farm in renovation will provide real excitement to exhibitors and attendees alike.
